To celebrate 40 years of Ferrari, Enzo had his design team create a supercar that translated racing car technology to the road. Furthermore, it was built with only the most essential systems and in many regards is a supercar with functional simplicity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was also the last car developed and built under Enzo Ferrari\u2019s direct supervision before he died. Following the turbocharged successes in Formula One, the 288 GTO was Ferrari\u2019s first road-going turbocharged model in 1984. The F40 followed in its path and shared its longitudinal, mid-mounted, twin turbocharged V8 configuration. Power came from a large V8 engine that produced 478 bhp and 426 lb-ft torque.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Incorporating advanced composite materials, the F40 was very light. It used a Kevlar for the body which was integrated into a steel chassis. This body\/chassis unit was fabricated by Scaglietti and finished at Ferrari\u2019s own factory. The F40 shape was developed by Pininfarina to reduce frontal area, drag and lift. They also designed a lexan hood to reveal the twin-turbo V8 engine.<\/p>\n
